Sulkava Church, Lutheran church in Sulkava, Finland
Sulkava Church is a Lutheran place of worship in the Finnish village of Sulkava, built following clean, symmetrical lines and geometric forms of early 19th-century design. The white structure rises prominently in the landscape and shapes the village character with its ordered architecture and visible tower.
Construction of this church started in 1770 under architect Charles Bassi and continued until 1822 under national supervision. It has shaped local history for over two centuries and remained under local parish administration through much of its existence.
This church has always been the main gathering place for Sulkava's community and reflects the deep Lutheran roots of the region. You can see how it continues to shape local life and bring people together around shared faith.
The building is easily accessible and sits in a central location within the village where regular worship services take place. Visitors should know that it functions as a protected heritage site and the standard respectful behavior expected in places of worship applies here.
Despite its long-standing local importance, the building experienced an unexpected administrative shift in 2023 when responsibility transferred from Sulkava Parish to Savonlinna Parish. This change marked a subtle but significant realignment of institutional relationships across the region.
